PRESENT.

Yesterday Mrs. Langtry tele-
rraphed TO this city for 40 acres OF
land. stating that she wanted it for
a Christmas present to q friend.
The lady's ideas are certainly
sounI both on land and Christmas
presents.
She has travelled all over the
United States and is considered as
= first class land sharp. After
carefully studying the land and CHI
mate of q score of States she selects
40 acres OF Nevada land as Christ
mas gift to friend.
She might have secured 40 acres
of California land, but who would
want to give as a token OF friend
ship, land where the thermometer
scores IO6 in the shade nine months
in the year and where the malaria
and chills and fever always go hand
in hand with oranges and citrus
belts.
No land could be found for sale
near Carson and finally Senator
Noteware turned over to the lady
forty acres, at cost, situated just be-
yond the fume, South of Carson.
1t can be easily irrigated from the
flume and is the most desirable 40
acres in the county.
Some people in giving Christ
mas present select gew-gaws aud
iewelry, books, fans, etc, which DC
not last, and the recipient OF the
gift IN few years forgets where
they come from and cares less.
But q desirable piece of Nevada
land is Christmas present which
lasts forever and goes on increa sing
in value every year.
Let it be hoped that other New
York PEOPLE will take it into theii
heads to do the sensible thing on
Christmas and give their friends
Nevada land. This is indeed g
Christmas gift worth having.

AN AMERICAN SCHOONER
FIRED UPON AND SUNK BY A CANA
DIAN CRUISER.
The Remarkable Story Told by 'en-
tlemap at ottawa, which. IL True, VIII
Load tn Serious ResuIts-Fiftcen Lives
Reported Lost.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug ia gentleman
who arrived here last evening from Buc-
/ touche. small village on the Cur OF 81
] Lawrence shore of New Brunswick, tells
startling and sensational story calculated 70
make the blood boil in every American o1tl-
GEMS heart
He saws that fishing schooner belonging
10 the United States has been sunk by shot
from one Of the Canadian cruisers, aud that
all on board were lost
The statement appears Incredible, but the
reliability OF the person who communicates
it can be depended upon.
SThis gentleman has been spending some
time in Buctouche, and is well acquainted
with the inhabitants, but has no interest
whatever in fishing matters and can have no
possible reason for repeating story which
he knows % DE false.
He states that one night, about eight days
ago, while sleeping in a house ia the village
himself and his wife were awakened 10y two
loud reports. They heard nothing further,
and. concluding that the noise was merely
peals OF thunder, went to sleep again.
In the morning they We're told that they
had beard the reports OF two cannon shots,
~
an American fishing schooner The second
shot struck ono Of the schooners mists, which
fell with the sails and turned the schooner
completely over on her side, when she filled
and sank Immediately. Every man on board
went down, there not being given a minutes
time 10 launch a boat
The affair, he states, was witnessed by
couple Of Buctouche fisherman, who were of
the shore i'm a r0wboat and who carried the
news home.
After seeing the terrible result Of her shots
the cruiser put TO sea aud was soon lost in
the night.
There was no storm during the night, so
that the noise heard on shore could not have
been caused by thunder The reports were
heard by nearly everybody in the village,
who, in spite Of their being short and sharp
ut the moment attributed them to thunder.
The gentleman relating this terrible affair
says that every effort * being made 10 keep
it quiet There is no doubt however, about
the reports Icing heard and that there was
no storm
The object of the authorities in suppressing
news Of such kind for as long a time as
possible can really be understood, nut II
true the facts must come out, as il would
hardly be possible 10 keep every man on
board the cruiser from telling something Of
the story as soon as he reached port. Ii IL
transpires that an American vessel and her
crew have been sunk in this manner very
grave complications Will ensue.
The number OF lives lost would probably
be from twelve 10 fifteen, possibly two or
three more That the report did not come
from Buctouche sooner is explained by tho
fact that it is an isolated place.
